And there's only four readers for those three books or those four books. So Cleveland is, and I'm making fun, but like I say, I've written about him a lot. He desegregated the New York City police force. He, I mean, there's a number of things he did that,

He's a really interesting switch because the Democratic Party had been really wedded to the former Confederates after the Civil War, and they lose the 1880 election quite unexpectedly to everybody, not just to them. And that's when we get James Garfield, who's really kind of a Lincoln Republican. He's assassinated, so we never really see what that would have become.

But the Democratic Party says, we can't stick with these old unreconstructed Southerners. We're going to move to the urban cities. And that's when they get Grover Cleveland. And Grover Cleveland really builds up the idea of politics as sort of that urban idea of taking care of everybody within the party that becomes Tammany Hall. It's already Tammany Hall, but he links to that.

And that quite directly becomes FDR. Anyway, Cleveland gave a bunch of great speeches. There's a bunch of these old biographies of him. I've written about him in Western Appomattox, I think, and in The Wounded Knee, the massacre book. I don't know. I'm not sure you need to spend the rest of your life on him, but he's interesting.

That's actually a really good idea. I taught one at, I think, most of the universities I've been at called Race Riots and Rodeos. And my Western mathematics is based on that course. But, you know, maybe I'll do it. That would be a great spring project, wouldn't it? Because I do these courses online. That might be fun.

I mean, the late 19th century is a great period, not just because of the politics and the economics, which everybody sort of has this gut sense of. But because in this moment when nobody quite knew what was going to materialize in the relationship between government and individuals, you get all these new voices. You get indigenous Americans writing newspapers and coming to fight in Washington.

And you get sculpture and you get art and you get, you know, the rise of cowboy poetry and you get Scott Joplin out of Texas. And there's just this it's this incredibly powerful. time of fervor and new creativity that sometimes I think we don't pay enough attention to.

So when you get in 1913, when you get the Armory Show in New York, which is when people really start paying attention to changes in modern art, that comes from the 19th century. That's not like somebody says in 1912, hey, let's invent a whole new kind of art. That comes from all this incredible ferment of maybe we don't have to have representational art. Maybe we can just do lines.
